"Diversity visas" is, and always has been, a bad idea. But, look where it originated, in a country which had prided itself as being a melting pot of immigrants, diversity. Multiculturalism ignores the old assumption that those who come to our shores will ASSIMILATE into ONE nation under God.

Instead, there are those who want to divide us into multiple ethnic and philosophical groups in order to gather political power by caving into specific minority interests.

But we saw this go away when a diversity visa immigrant who wants to destroy western civilization did this deed. I find it ironic that his deed happened in the state whose senator created this untenable plan.

We need immigrants who will assimilate into American culture.

Editor's note: Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer introduced the "diversity visa" bill 27 years ago to Republican support, including Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and signed into law by a Republican president. Schumer, as part of the "gang of eight," worked on legislation that would have ended the diversity visa program four years ago. The legislation was voted down.
